About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a solo adventure in the Arthurian universe with 'The Knight of Destiny'! If you enjoy 'Four Against Darkness', this expansion offers a special quest for a lone paladin seeking the Holy Grail. The kingdom is in turmoil: Lancelot is gone, Arthur is ill, and Morgana and Mordred are leading a rebellion. The only hope is to find the Grail before it's too late and the traitors plunge everything into darkness.
The cool part is that you don't need to worry about mapping; everything is guided by rules and random tables. You can even recruit allies along the way – think soldiers, merchants, and other travelers to help you on this perilous journey. The game includes specific rules for paladins and tips for using this class in your regular 'Four Against Darkness' games, plus Arthurian magic items and random events like encounters, quests, and even names of characters you'll meet. It's a neat way to dive into Arthurian legends with the familiar simplicity and challenge.
